Function via the consumption of ATP. A collective term for support cells and associated extracellular matrix.

Consists of neurons and neuroglia (a specialized group of support cells). Specialized tissue with both contractile and conducting properties. It is made up of fibers, also known as myocytes or myofibers, derived from myocyte progenitor cells.
